Assam Cricket Association Suspends Four Over Alleged SMAT Corruption, Files Police Case

The action follows a BCCI anti-corruption enquiry that found prima facie misconduct affecting the sport’s integrity.

Overview

  • Amit Sinha, Ishan Ahmed, Aman Tripathi and Abhishek Thakuri were suspended with immediate effect pending investigations.
  • The quartet is accused of attempting to influence current Assam players during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy league stage in Lucknow from November 26 to December 8.
  • An FIR was lodged with the Crime Branch in Guwahati on December 12 after the BCCI’s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit completed an enquiry.
  • The suspensions bar the four from all ACA-run matches and cricket roles, including coaching and officiating, with district units told to enforce the ban.
  • None of the accused featured in Assam’s SMAT 2025 squad, though Thakuri played two Ranji Trophy matches earlier this season.
